Citysearch
In Short – La Shish, founded in 1989, bridges Middle Eastern culture with Western hospitality. The exotic decor consists of proprietor Talal Chahine's eastern instruments, decorative brass objects and photographs from his village in Lebanon. Mixing falafel, shish kabob and hummus, La Shish offers an extensive menu of Lebanese appetizers, combo dishes and desserts. Raw juices and smoothies are also quite popular. Close dinner out with baklava.

We tried to give this place opportunity. They failed.
The service is RUDE.
The managers Humiliate the workers - who in turn take it out on the customers.
AND... we do NOT like getting Stared At by management.

Go further west on Michigan and try La Pita.
Muuuch nicer and much better food.
You can relax there and enjoy.
- Pros: fresh bread
- Cons: The Hateful Staff
not what i expected
by nate323
For the big name they have in Michigan this is not what i expected. After goin there to 3 different locations i could honestly tell you that each experience was worst than the other, at the first la shish in dearborn as i walked in the manager in arguin with one of the workers, i guess the worker is askin for his paycheck that he didn't get for a month anyways,we got seated service took for ever our server was rude and ugly, food was over cooked and the kitchen wasn't clean, prices were too high, and place smelled really bad, it was just bunch of people that didn't know how to do thier jobs i guess, at the other locations we eperinced rude service and bad food as well, if you ever go to michigan i would recomend Amir on Warren st. great food , good prices and nice welcomin service. Never again i will go to this place
- Pros: fattoush was good
- Cons: bad service, nasty meat
La Shish and Talal's
by tomdillenbeck
Talal's does not show up on City Search, for some reason. But if you visit Dearborn, you'll see the 2 restaurants next to each other. They are connected and owned by the same people. In Dearborn, Talal's has the nicer, exotic ambiance and seating for groups and families. They both serve great food. Hummus and tabouli are great excellent.
If you visit La Shish, it's more like a diner atmosphere. The advantage is the juice bar is one this side and you can see the smoothies being made - they are delicious and a must try.
- Pros: Exotic ambience at Talal's, same great food at both
- Cons: Make sure you go to the right restaurant - Talal's or La Shish
